Super Orders v4.0 Support Thread for ZC v1.5.x

[DivaVocals]

Hi Guys,

I am having extreme difficulty installing this mod with the Ceon Sage Pay Form v2.0.3. Both of these new modules edit the orders.php file. When using these software with v 1.3.9 I had no issue given that super orders didn't use to edit the orders.php. I have done my best to implement both using winmerge however although both modules are kind of working certain functions keep throwing up errors.

For example customers are unable to view their orders in their account info, I am unable to batch pdf files etc. I assume this all comes down to slightly incorrect coding on the orders.php file. If anyone has successfully managed to run these modules together and can show me the correct orders.php file or can offer me any advice or help it would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Your issues are not likely related to any conflict between Ceon Sage Pay Form and Super Orders. Neither of these modules have ANY files in common.. Ceon Sage Pay Form DOES NOT modify the orders.php file at all, and since it's just a payment module it would not work differently with Super Orders. Super Orders does not modify any of the normal functions that are used by any other Zen Cart payment module.

Your issues sound like they are related to other changes in your store. With the exception your hint regarding an issue with batch printing of PDF files (you provide no details of this error so I cannot provide any suggestions), none of your issues sound like they are caused by Super Orders. Super Orders does not modify/affect the My Accounts section of Zen Cart.

Hi

I am trying to install Super-Orders onto a test Zen Cart site, and having some trouble. I am new to setting up Zen Cart and a bit confused by the installation instructions for Super Orders. I am setting this up on a local machine to evaluate and create the code i need for a customer(they already have zen cart and we are just testing out solutions for extracting orders). I have installed the basic zen cart installation and that was running. i have downloaded the Super Orders code, changed the name of the Admin directories to match the name of my Zen Cart admin directories and now want to activate this code on my test site. I am not uploading via FTP because this is on my local machine. if i (try to) place the contents of 1_Base_Files in my the root of my site it will overwrite existing 'includes' and 'xxAdmin' Directories..so that cant be correct. Can i get some additional explanation and instructions for installing onto a local directory (>mamp>htdocs>catalog is the path to my zen cart installation..i am running on OSX but i don't think that should be having much bearing on this)

really? I don't know about MacOS but in most systems you will get the option to merge the files into position, usually on a popup window. That is what you need to do. Merge directories and replace files.

Backing up on local is easy so no excuse not to do that and then give it a go.

when i copy files to a directory i get an option to keep both or replace them not to merge them(same happens if i copy a file/directory on my PC it does not merge them by default). I did try FTPing up to the website(non live version) and that wanted to replace files/directories as well. I have indeed done a backup, i tried manually installing the files however the admin of my site then just brings up a blank window so something is not correct with that way of doing it. I really need to just get this installed and setup asap because i can't actually get on with the work i need to do and can't even be sure i am going to be able to do what i want(which is to have it put the orders in XML format in a directory so i can pick them up to incorporate them into my system).. The installation instructions say to put the contents of the directory at the root level and it should auto install but i cant see how to put the contents of 1_Base and 2_Base in the root without a directory clash so either i am not understanding what it is asking me to do or i should be doing something else

When you drag the install directories into the directory for your locally hosted site what actually happens?

Have you tried doing this or are you just assuming that the existing one will be overwriten?

So, here is how I do it:

---There is a folder called 'store'

---In that 'store' directory are 'includes' 'myadmin' and several other folders.

---In the install directory there is a folder called 'includes' and one that I have renamed to 'myadmin'

---I drag those two directories into the folder called 'store' and drop them there.

---There is a warning that the directory 'includes' already exists. Do I want to merge? Yes.

--I then get a warning that the file somethign.php exists do I want to overwrite? Ye

Etc Etc.

If MacOS does not work like this then you'll need someone who knows about MacOS to advise you. As this is open source the people helping you are in no way actually responsible for the software. they are helping you out of the goodness of their hearts.

Mac OS does not offer to merge directories. I have however tried manually merging the contents of the directories. with the documents in 2_base i renamed to old files(for safety and then put the replacement files in) but when i do this my admin page ceases to work on the Zen Cart. I did this a second time assuming i had placed a file incorrectly but the same thing happened again. None of what you have said though seems to match up up with the instructions that are given for Super Orders install in the documentation. The documentation does not talk about merging files it says that there is an auto installer invoked from the Zen Cart admin page-i was hoping to get that to work. Maybe i am just not understanding what their documentation says.

You need to upload the files the files in the right place. In the case of a local host that 'upload' is just replaced with 'put'. The files need to be in the right place.

The auto-installer will run once you have done that. It will make the database changes that are required for the module to work. That is what the auto-installer does.

I am sure that that is exactly what the instruction say.

You are asking how to merge the folders/files in a MacOS system. I don't know the answer to that. It really doesn't have much to do with the module. It is just an operating system issue. Having just googled that I can see that MacOS has some issues with that. If you google it you may find:

Thanks. I used another tool(forklift) to merge the directories. However the result is the same as when i manually merged them, after the Zen Cart admin page will not load. I don't know what file it does not like(its something in the admin folder because if I replace the admin folder with the backed up admin folder it loads). I am going to try and narrow it down

Depending on what version of zen you are using you will find error logs in either the cache directory or the logs directory.

Hi,

Anyone can update the 4.0.5 files?
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home/public_html/tmm151/admin_01/includes/classes/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 1047

This files will make the admin back end page blank!!!!

PLEASE find someone to update this module from the download page, else any new user who using 1.5.1 and Super Order 4.0.5 will run on error!


Thank you
